Finally some pics of my valver

It's been 7 months since I had a little oversteer induced off road excursion and done this damage to my baby as well as the all the suspension damage



I met a couple of ppl from here when I bought some bits and they saw the damage. I wasn't too worried about the cosmetic damage as the plan ever since I bought it was to get full respray. So the buying started, with some rust free doors on ebay, rsi skirts & wilwood 4 pots from a guy on CS, rear bumper off cliodan87, tailgate off cant remember who, and a set of wheels for me to refurb.

Would like to say thanks to the above for sorting me out and was good to meet you all as well and hopefully I'll meet a few more now I've got the car sorted.

I went to the bodyshop at the end of march and booked it in for the respray at the end of may. In the meantime I swapped these for these badboys


Then when she went in I made a start on the wheels, here's what they looked like when I got them back from being shot blasted
Then filled & sanded all the kerb marks & missing chunks with chemical metal and 4 coats of primer (no short cuttin)

Then the 1st couple of coats of gloss black paint

Then a few more coats, rubbed back with some 1500 grit wet and 3 coats of lacquer

Here they are on the car wrapped in brand new yokohama paradas


Here's a gratuitous pic of my housemates new car lol
